Biostatistics core

The Biostatistics Core enhances UNC SRPs relevance to public health by maximizing the information gained from each project and enabling the use of modern bioinformatics approaches to complex data sets.

generates knowledge that is directly applicable to quantitative elucidation of risk.

The Core is involved at the earliest stages of each project, assisting investigators in each step of planning and executing the projects. Each Core faculty member is assigned a role to two projects. A staff statistician with considerable bioinformatics experience serves as a dedicated analyst, under the guidance of Core faculty members. The Core director reports to the SRP Director, and members – who already collaborate extensively – meet regularly with the investigators and with each other to plan and exchange ideas.
